Mugging scene from "Collateral".

I gave my son-in-law my old Colt Commander, to protect my daughter with. Even though I can go visit it any time I want, and even though I have another 1911, I still miss it. *sniff* Just save your pennies until you can afford the SIG.

I'm getting lots of enjoyment out of my K31.

Here's what they're teaching young cops in my neck of the woods these days: Stand squarely facing the threat (target), feet roughly shoulder width apart, strong side foot SLIGHTLY to the rear (strong foot toes about even with reaction foot instep), face-shoulders-chest-navel-hips-knees-toes...

When I first started handloading, I had over twice as many "clicks" with my handloads than with factory ammo. Now, it's the other way around. For defensive use, as I said, I'll use factory ammo. Beyond that, though, I view it as a costly convenience item.....or a reliable source of...

It's all a trade-off between multiple factors. Effective range. Penetration. Trajectory. Size/weight of the ammunition. A more powerful round means a bigger, heavier round. That means you either carry less of them in the same amount of space, and with the same burden, or you increase...

That's awesome! I'm "stealing" it.

Here's the problem as I see it, Mas: The courts are perfectly willing to ASSUME that one factory load is the same as any other from the same production run, but NOT that one handload is the same as any other from the same production run. They are willing to take the word of a commercial...

Kleanbore: Accuracy would be EXTREMELY relevant if your attacker was shooting at you from behind partial cover. ....and while "permission to carry does not grant police powers", being currently employed as a police officer, and being within the geographical jurisdiction of that...

Redding FL sizing dies are the ONLY ones designed to match the K31 chamber. I've sized them too much before, and ended up with weird-looking shoulders. I've had rounds that failed to fire the first time, but did fire when I reseated them in the chamber. Check your cartridge OAL...

I print them on regular inkjet paper. It's probably a little more expensive than having them copied commercially, but not as expensive as storebought targets. I like the ones with 5 3-inch targets on one page. Perfect for scoped rifles at 100 yds. (If I was better at it, I might go for...

Cosmoline: lawyers don't have to answer questions. They just ASK those questions which they ALREADY know the answers to. And, in case you've never noticed, neither do they ever have to swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help (them) God..... Were it...

I carry nothing but factory hollowpoints in my carry guns... ....BUT.... I have NEVER found ANY factory ammunition which is as consistent (in point of impact) as my own handloads. .....and I have numerous targets which illustrate that very fact. One of these days, I'm going to pull...

During my final enlistment period in the Army, I deployed to three hostile places. The last of those was Iraq, back in 91. During the run-up to Desert Storm, I'd been following the news. Some of you remember all the gloom and doom: 4th largest army in the world, combat-hardened troops...

I've had my PT1911 for over a year now, have put over 2000 rounds through it, and it hasn't hiccupped once. FMJ, JHP, LSWC - doesn't matter - it eats anything. My previous 1911 was a Colt Lightweight Commander. I like the Taurus better. YMMV.

When I went through the firearms instructor course, we all brought 1500 rounds of handgun ammunition, and used most of it. There were 30 of us in the class. I picked up MOST of the brass. Filled three 5-gallon buckets with mostly .40 and .45, a bit of 9mm, and a small amount of .357 SIG...

The original AWB was not retroactive, nor do I imagine that any new one would be likely to be. Firearms manufactured before the effective date were still allowed to be possessed and transferred without any penalty whatsoever.

Some folks had that same idea quite some time ago. They published their "fad diet" in about, oh, 1789. They called it "the Constitution of the United States of America." Problem was, just as in most diet failures, that the fat guy wouldn't follow the diet. He also wrote in the margins of...

I just finally read the book a couple of weeks ago. I had mixed feelings. I didn't care about the sex parts one way or the other. As far as I'm concerned, they were neither integral to the story, nor did they detract from it. The vigilantism bothered me a bit, as did the viewing of the...
